I am still waiting – 

for the Undercover Boss edition 

when Jesus shows up incognito 

in one of those self-righteous 

racist, sexist, homophobic 

evangelical churches 

and fires everyone.

barefoot on the sharp stones of my hosannas

~Patrick Sweeney

object permanence

the peek-a-boo

of old age

I'm the foreigner coughing on the crowded train

~Patrick Sweeney

maybe the trees have their own names for each other

~Patrick Sweeney

traveling light –

a suitcase

full of dreams

~Bonnie J Scherer

baggage carousel …

picking up

where we left off
